Since I've moved back to the northeast, so many shifts have occurred. I have felt the fear and the joy of it. Within a month of moving, I got a full time job at a CPA firm as an Office Administrator; got a part time yoga teaching gig at Best Fitness; got invited to join a dance group; completed a fitness program; and now training to become a willPower & Grace instructor! Before I left San Francisco, I was so afraid I wasn't going to find ANY of these things and poof! See!
Yes, there has been self-doubt and fear.
Yes, there has been negative self-talk (aka mind chatter).
Yes, there have been moments when I wanted to throw in the towel.
But I've been finding more confidence in myself through the tough times. I love all the things I'm doing, and when I don't feel like it, I know once I do, I'm going to feel better and so inspired to do more. When I need support I know where to go and I receive it. I allow myself to feel the not-so-nice feelings, so then I can move forward. Instead of looking at it as a set back, I see it as a lesson or bump in the path.
In the willPower & Grace method, instructors ask their students the question, "what if you had to?" For instance, if you're holding plank position and you have that moment where you just want to quit, what if you had to hold it just another breath or two. Then you build that strength everytime you practice plank, and you will see how it supports you in your everyday life. It's like yoga! Or any other mind-body practice.
It's awesome!
